ADULT CLASSES
MONDAY: 7:30PM-9:30PM
WEDNESDAY: 7:30PM-9:30PM
Our style was developed by O-Sensei Chitose (pictured below) who was a doctor and optimized its training methods to provide safe physical conditioning while maintaining maximal effectiveness. Like most other Karate styles there is an emphasis on character development by focusing on good manners, self-discipline, physical fitness as well as self-defense.
As a traditional karate style with it's roots in Okinawa, Japan, our adult classes include ceremony and etiquette from Japanese culture. We do this to honour the origins or our style and to practice discipline and respect towards each other. Chito Ryu is one of the oldest martial arts in the country, with the head of our style, Sensei Shane Higashi (Hanshi, 10th Dan, Saiko Shihan for the WCRKF and CCRKDA; pictured left) being the first Black Belt award in Canada in 1962.
